   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is the latest accepted revision accepted on 21 October 2010 Jump to: navigation search Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two theorems of mathematical logic that establish inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems for mathematics. The theorems, proven by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are important both in mathematical logic and in the philosophy of mathematics . The two results are widely interpreted as showing that Hilbert's program to find a complete and consistent set of axioms for all of mathematics is impossible, thus giving a negative answer to Hilbert's second problem The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an "effective procedure" (essentially, a computer program) is capable of proving all facts about the natural numbers . For any such system, there will always be statements about the natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system. The second incompleteness theorem shows that if such a system is also capable of proving certain basic facts about the natural numbers, then one particular arithmetic truth the system cannot prove is the consistency of the system itself.

    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Or more informally, And even more succinctly, The Incompleteness Theorem was proven by Kurt Gödel in 1931. According to legend, Von Neumann, who heard the lecture in which it was announced, quickly realized the "second" Theorem as a corollary. Gödel had already found the second result independently. It basically demolished hope for David Hilbert’s “Program” to prove the completeness and consistency of the existing mathematical systems. Particularly, the “Principia Mathematica”, a massive attempt by Russell and Whitehead to axiomatize mathematics was shown to be essentially incomplete. The most famous known “unprovable” mathematical proposition may be Cantor’s “Continuum Hypothesis”. The proof of the Incompleteness Theorem follows from the construction of a Gödel sentence for the formal system. That sentence, interpreted at a meta-logical level, asserts that

Ultimately, the consistency of all of mathematics could be reduced to basic arithmetic. G�del's second incompleteness theorem shows that basic arithmetic cannot be used to prove its own consistency, so it certainly cannot be used to prove the consistency of anything stronger.

The implication is that all logical system of any complexity are, by definition, incomplete; each of them contains, at any given time, more true statements than it can possibly prove according to its own defining set of rules. Principia , or any other system within which arithmetic can be developed, is essentially incomplete . In other words, given any consistent set of arithmetical axioms, there are true mathematical statements that cannot be derived from the set... Even if the axioms of arithmetic are augmented by an indefinite number of other true ones, there will always be further mathematical truths that are not formally derivable from the augmented set.

    Extractions: consistent axiomatic formulations of number theory Hilbert's problem asking whether mathematics is "complete" (in the sense that every statement in the language of number theory can be either proved or disproved). Formally, Gödel's theorem states, "To every -consistent recursive class of formulas , there correspond recursive class-signs such that neither ( Gen ) nor Neg( Gen ) belongs to Flg( ), where is the free variable of " (Gödel 1931). number theory is consistent, then a proof of this fact does not exist using the methods of first-order predicate calculus . Stated more colloquially, any formal system that is interesting enough to formulate its own consistency can prove its own consistency iff it is inconsistent. Gerhard Gentzen showed that the consistency and completeness of arithmetic can be proved if transfinite induction is used. However, this approach does not allow proof of the consistency of all mathematics. SEE ALSO: Consistency Goodstein's Theorem Hilbert's Problems Kreisel Conjecture ...
